Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
The character ^], from 'man ascii':
035 29 1D GS (group separator) 135 93 5D ]
is common in /var/log/audit.log. Is there some explanation for it?
Apparently it was not the case in 2.8.5 (rhel7), but appears common
in audit 3.0.7 or newer.
Yes, the group separator is used to mark the end of the event and the beginning of interpreted data. This standard has been published for at least 7 years:
https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-documentation/wiki/SPEC-Audit-Event-Enrichment
This information is processed by the audit utilities to accurately determine user mappings when the logs are viewed on a remote system.
Thanks Steve. As you described earlier (making it clear here) if one wants
to avoid the control character, can set 'raw' to 'log_format' in
/etc/audit/auditd.conf, but that will cause the logs to not be transportable
to other systems.
